HR Metrics Series: Developing a Business Case for HR June 7, 2012

6 General / Strategic Recertification Credits

The business role of HR includes optimizing the value of human capital, just as finance departments optimize the value of financial capital. Learn the steps in building an effective, analytics-based HR business proposal, and apply these steps to your own business proposal.

This is a "hands-on" lab and it is expected that participants come with one or more ideas for program/policy proposals to work on - the more controversial, expensive or difficult - the better!
In this second seminar in the HR Metrics series, you will develop skills to:
- Uncover people-related goals important to your business leaders
- Enhance alignment between business drivers and HR efforts
- Monetize HR results
- Generate commitment from line management
- Build visibility for HR initiatives
- Develop an HR business case that incorporates the bottom-line impact of HR programs and initiatives

Leave the session with a structured business case workbook to support your continuing efforts in building your case for the value of HR.

Who Should Attend
* HR leaders and professionals with some experience in HR metrics and analytics
* Anyone responsible for developing, proposing or implementing human capital-related initiatives and programs
